Common Questions
How many osteopathy sessions will WPA cover?
This depends on your chosen plan and benefit level. You may have a cash limit per year (e.g. £500–£1,500) or a percentage cashback (such as 75% up to £300).
Do I need a GP referral?
In most cases, no. WPA allows self-referral for Osteopathy, but confirm this with your policy.
Is Nutrition covered with WPA?
Did you know Nutritionist sessions may also be covered within your WPA policy? Having spoken to WPA, this is not an additional extra within a policy. If your presentation would benefit from Nutrition advice sessions, this may be covered. The price of functional testing and supplements is unlikely to be covered. For more information, please visit our nutritionist page.
What conditions does Osteopathy help with?
Osteopathy is helpful for back pain, neck pain, joint discomfort, posture issues, muscle tension, sports injuries, and pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomfort.
Can Wellthy Clinic bill WPA directly?
Currently, we ask clients to pay at the end of their session and then claim reimbursement from WPA using our receipt.
